Do PC makers feel betrayed over Microsoft's Surface tablet?

JMH · Jun 21, 2012

When Microsoft pulled the wraps off its Surface tablet earlier this week, I suspected a number of PC manufacturers were going to be both surprised and upset.
Remember, Redmond has been touting Windows 8 RT tablets for a long time now, all while charging vendors significant money for software licenses. Indeed, some sources claim Microsoft is charging approximately $85 per license for Windows RT alone.

This has led to speculation that the tablets be priced somewhere in the $600-$800 range. Although Redmond hasn't published official pricing for its Surface Tablet just yet, the corporation insists it will be comparable to other ARM tablets and Ultrabooks.
